Model WNR3500Lv2 This problem still persists 3/29/2018. No firmware update is available for this model.

You'll need to get a new router or try some 3rd party FW. britonwrote:Model WNR3500Lv2 This problem still persists 3/29/2018. No firmware update is available for this model.

Have you been in conact with NG support about this? Might see if there is any more information on this or ask about using a Beta FW. beshoe25wrote:AVAST Network Scan shows this Vulnerability IDI have the latest firmware on both satillites and router by this persistes, any idea how to fix this issue?

Yes I've been asking them to keep me updated. They said there aware of the issue and are working on it. Hopefully that's true. I'll have to ask if they have a beta version. Thanks for the information and I'll keep you posted.

See if v2.1.3.6 is available for the RBR or RBK40. If it is, try upgrading FW. Reset then setup from scratch and test.

If not, you should contact NG support and ask for help and information on this.
